Honyaegar is an Imperial Navy Captain who commands the Apocalypse Class Battleship Triumph and was brought into Battlefleet Armageddon in 951.M41 following the aftermath of the Second War for Armageddon. He commanded what remained of the Battlefleet and the Triumph proved to be the bane of many pirate fleets keen to take advantage of any weakness in the devastated Armageddon Subsector. Under Honyaegar's command the Triumph went on to amass an impressive roll of honour and became the symbol of the Emperor's will within the Sub-Sector. A generation later however, an increase in Ork attacks on Systems surrounding Armageddon started to drastically cut the amount of merchant shipping voyaging to the main System and the Triumph and other ships in the Battlefleet, found themselves stretched to the breaking point. There were simply too few ships to cover so much space and it was the merchant transports that were feeling the effect. An appeal for reinforcements was met by the arrival of Admiral Parol, on board His Will, and three first line Cruiser squadrons. Acknowledging the Admiral's seniority and greater experience, Captain Honyaegar transferred command of the Battlefleet to Parol and, for a short time, the depredations of the Ork pirates abated. This all changed, almost overnight, as the Ork piratical raids turned into full blown planetary assaults of several minor systems and the Third War for Armageddon began.[1]

As Admiral Parol led the Battlefleet into battle with the invading Orks, Honyaegar took part as well and fought in the Battle of Pelucidar. That battle nearly proved to be the Triumph's end, as Ork Kroozers teleported a large number of Orks onto the Battleship, once its shields were brought down. Captain Honyaegar reluctantly gave the order to disengage from the battle, a feat he barely manged in his crippled vessel, though the fighting to clear the Ork boarders from the Triumph reportedly took another four days to complete.[1]
